Galerakis, when did the metal constructions make their appearance in Crete?
The metal constructions made their first appearance in Crete the last 20 years, regarding industrial buildings as well as bridges and port projects constructions etc. Greek engineers have expressed a strong preference for prefabricated constructions since 2000, while in U.S.A and in Europe they have adopted this technique 200 years ago, as they realized the great advantages of metal in contrast with concrete. For instance, many sky-scrapers are constructed with metal units.
